Paul Haggis — the filmmaker and former Scientologist who appeared in Alex Gibney’s exposé on the church, “Going Clear” — was at a New York premiere of Sony Pictures Classics’ “Equity,” where actor Ray Liotta seemingly couldn’t help asking about Haggis’ split from the church.

“They sat next to each other,” said a spy. “Ray asked him, ‘Are people still after you?’ He asked him twice. Paul said, ‘They’re relentless and prevalent in my life.’” — though neither Haggis nor Liotta ever used the ‘S’ word. Reps didn’t get back to us.
